A'

collecting receptacle or int 13 is connected to the bottom 11 and communicates with the in- 65 terior space thereof and, similarly, an' in- 'verted jar 14 is connected to the cover 12 as shown. At a short distance from each end of the bjox 10, wire screens 15 are mounted, between which and suitable collecting sponge material 16 1s -placed, the space between the two Screens 15 being left open; and. it is with this space that the-j ars 13 and let communicate.

The jar" 14 is of with the interior space therein for holding the product elf-combustion and for condensation thereof; such relatively lower tern erature ofthe jar from is particularh two temperatures This when tobacco containing moistu condensingquickly.

The inner receptacle isprovi'ded with a cover 21 overwhich an suitable' erfoiated plate 22 may be place ,it-and t e portion 95 of the cover directly below it having openings 23E for'the passage of air; The plate 22 is pivotallymounted onthe'cover and" may be turned to more or less close the openings as maybe desired. r a 1!

When the pump is operated, it is apparent that a draft is made to supply air to the burning tobacco, the air comm throu h e openings 23 heretofore described, T e products of combustion pass through the member 6 and the coil 8 and, as the coil is surrounded by water the nicotin, which has been vaporized on burning the tobacco, partially condenses and runs downwardly through the coil and is collected in the 'ar 7.- That part which is not thus condense and collected, passes'through the box 10 and is collected in the sponges 16 from which it may pass under the screens 15 to the jar 13; Practically all of the nicotin that is va orized on burning the tobacco is.c0ll in this manner. The remaining products of combustion which do not condense ass through the fan and outwardly throughihe outlet 20. The jars 7 and 13 are detachably connected in place so that the same may be readily removed at any time to empty their contents.

From the foregoing it will be apparent that I have provided taining nicot1n from burnin tobacco which is of relatively simple yet effective construction, and one in whic substantially all of carried is'cooled as soon as it passes to the a point below which nicotin can vaporize,and there-is no danger of a .loss of nicotin from vaporization with a consequent passing out through the outlet 20. These features make the apparatus one of value. Many slight changes in minor detail of construction may be resorted to without departing from my invention and I, accordingly, consider myself enmodifications of structure J claim-z 1. in a device of the character described, an outer 1'(1.-IJI H Cl-, an inner: receptacle 10- tion receptacle depending: From said receotacle and communicating with, the coil, means for holding a quantity of tobacco within the inner receptacle, and meansfor combustion from the tobacco, when lighted, through the coil, substantially asdescribed.
